As mid-seasonal cool gradually gives way to full-blown winter, the archetypal men’s denim jacket is one staple that pays dividends (well, not literally) to have in your wardrobe. Both a fantastic penultimate layer or signature slice of outerwear, this timeless workwear design (introduced in the late 1900s) has been adapted by countless designers over the decades – offering an appeal to Americana enthusiasts, neo-preppy types, streetwear fiends, and just about everybody between. To that end, here are all of the best men’s denim jackets we’ve come across this year. From Ralph Lauren to MJ Bale ..read more

This week, Pepsi — one of the world’s most iconic soft drinks — is set to unveil an exciting new electric-blue & black livery, reinvigorating its classic identity (as it has done several times over the past 60 years) for the next generation. With its finger on the pulse of pop culture — who could forget the company’s ‘Gladiators’ TV spot of the mid-2000s? — the brand is consistently committed to quenching the public’s thirst for an iconic moment, all while challenging the status quo.  Unsurprising then that, last night, Pepsi debuted its new brand identity in creative partnership wit ..read more

In 1996, Tommy Hilfiger dropped the International Games capsule collection to commemorate the Atlanta Summer Olympics. Now, ahead of the forthcoming Paris Summer Olympics, the label has dug up its archives for a 41-piece Tommy Jeans release of “timeless athletic classics” that reimagines its sporting and collegiate roots. From track-inspired colour-blocked shorts to warm-up jackets and running singlets, the International Games capsule collection’s palette combines Tommy Hilfiger’s signature red, white, and blue with yellow, black, and green from the sporting world’s union of continents. RELAT ..read more

Given its reputation as one of the world’s most fashionable countries, we always expected France to bring the heat with its 2024 Olympics uniform. But the host nation hasn’t just understood the assignment — based on the preview offered during Paris Fashion Week (and this latest lookbook), they’ve set the pace, raised the bar, and launched the javelin all the way to the outer field. Equipe de France’s flashy threads have been conceptualised by Stéphane Ashpool, founder and lead designer of Parisian streetwear label Pigalle, and produced by legendary sportswear brand Le Coq Sportif (which was a ..read more

If you’re anything like the team here at Boss Hunting HQ, you’ve probably found yourself attempting – with varying degrees of success – to tie your own bow tie. More often than not, we leave the task of tying to the last moment, mere minutes before heading out the door to your gala event of choice; and this exercise (some would say in futility) is quickly abandoned in favour of the dreaded clip-on. Frankly, a big part of the problem has to do with the lacklustre quality of instructions out there. Googling for a solution throws up dozens of confusing diagrams; or worse still, a 30-second TikTo ..read more

From their humble origin as literal workwear through to their transformation as a symbol of 20th-century counter-culture; few items of men’s clothing illicit as many strong, varied opinions as humble denim jeans. Bearing that in mind, we’ve cobbled together a list of what we like to think of as the best men’s jeans money can buy — covering a mixture of cuts and budgets, of which (hopefully) at least one will be your new go-to. Denim prices in Australia now being what they are, it’s imperative to buy a classic cut with a more forgiving fit. In a pinch? It’s difficult to go wrong with something ..read more

Golf often faces some (admittedly well-founded) criticism for its perceived exclusivity and self-seriousness: with stringent dress codes and a country club culture that’s pervasive in many regions around the globe. Right now, two Aussie brands are having a fair crack at combating these elements: with the folks at Walker Golf Things and Shortees linking up for a golf apparel capsule that you could — and indeed, should —  wear to the pub. Shortees is a Sydney-based par 3 “pitch and putt” course that is refreshing in its approach: offering a laidback setting for newcomers and seasoned ..read more

Over the last two centuries, the average two-piece suit has (more or less) been a shelf-stable product. But that may all change depending on how the new ‘STRO’ suit is received. Straight from classic menswear brand The Observer Collection — and stylised with an acronym that stands for “Sartorial/Tactical/Reconnaissance/Observation” — the STRO suit is the brainchild of Neapolitan tailoring firm Sartoria Caracciolo and, more intriguingly, award-winning street style photographer Robert Spangle.

Quite possibly one of the most vaguely defined and widely misunderstood dress codes of the 21st century, men’s cocktail attire is a modern-day catch-all for events pitched at varying degrees of formality — all the way up until black tie. Stipulated on invitations for garden parties, corporate mixers, thoroughbred races, and seasonal weddings; more often than not, the person who elected to go full ‘cocktail attire’ mode can barely even explain what this entails. Ditto when you get a host who fancies themselves exceedingly clever, and starts bandying about concepts like ‘casual cocktail attire ..read more

Cult footwear designer Salahe Bembury recently announced a new collaboration with Crocs — a completely strapless mule-like number, codenamed the ‘Saru.’ This marks the fourth original collaboration between Crocs and Bembury; following closely after the runaway commercial successes of the Pollex Slide and Pollex Clog. Constructed using what Crocs spokespeople have referred to as a “hybrid design,” the Saru looks like it could very well have emerged from the sweaty fever dreams of HR Giger.
